## Other investigations on N98299 (2)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB GAA18CA038](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA18CA038), Nov 5, 2017: Piper PA28 (N98299), Batavia, OH, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to apply carburetor heat in conditions conducive to carburetor icing, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power during landing.
